A couple of big things I have noticed are the buggy and slow Android auto. Its a cool feature but lord it is bulky and unresponsive. There are only 2 USB ports and if you plug your phone in just to charge it it will force you to try to use Android auto. The MPG is much lower than the estimates, but so far a around 850 miles driving in the city my average is 27.3MPG. I also have been using premium gas hoping it would help get to the 30MPG promised but haven't hit it yet. The car is also a little noisy, there is a plastic rattling sound from the parts surrounding the engine. Other than those things this car has been a lot of fun to have as my first car purchase, it's got good pickup, good brakes, the safety features are really helpful and overall pretty happy with it.

Not Fit at all

Bought this car CPO from dealer in April of 2021 with 27,000 miles. I will admit I drive a lot. I put 50,000 miles on it in one year ok, being honest. I have also been so meticulous when it comes to maintenance. I only get it serviced at the dealer. Should be fine if you follow the scheduled maintenance, its a honda right? Nope, Check engine light comes on at 70,000 miles, It's a catalytic converter that needs to be replaced. Great! Also car makes a really loud rattling noise when I am stopped at a light from the engine compartment. It goes away in neutral or if the ac is running. Dealers wont acknowledge it, say its normal...great! I can vouch that the visibility is bad, even though I'm 5'10", its hard to see over the hood and the triangular windows have a thick column that create a bad blind spot. Gas mileage is overall 30 mpg. Rear shocks are worn out and the Bluetooth is buggy. Honda, are they are stuck in the 90's, sorry to say I'm never gonna buy another.

There's a harsh wind sound (Low frequency oscillation) if the windows are down on the freeway, or traveling fast.

Forgot the Navi

This a nice car, only thing is the frame around the windshield makes a huge blind spot for the driver. That is my only fault with the car. Its the navigation system. Got this car in December 2017 had wonderful graphics and the whole lot and now I get a map and lucky to get any place. I am told I never had Garmin navi but Here. Well I had a loaner car 2018 Fit Navi with a Here system and it had the same sort of system as Garmin. Took two days to get a new tire by the way. But I am really disappointed that the dealer or Honda will not help me out with my navigation. Just buy a Garmin if you want navigation.

I really do not have clear views in this car and I don't trust the rear view screen, It is always clear without a car or object onscreen. The so called cover for objects in the truck is ridiculous. Most just take it out. Driver's seat is too low at highest level. Will need to purchase something to be able to see out over the hood of the front window. Not happy with that. With large window in front should not have these problems and my windshield is not tinted. Sun is blinding.
